About this work

George Chinnery made this drawing in 1840. It shows cattle in a simple scene. A cow eats from a basket while a calf stands nearby. A dog looks back over its shoulder. The artist worked in the Romantic style. That means he focused on feeling and mood, not just exact details. This sheet is part of a larger group of animal studies. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
